It’s very troubling that the US admin sees half the country as its enemy but at least they are completely open and honest about that. It’s also troubling that they are trying to do everything in their power to suppress this group of fellow American citizens. Even before the death of CK, the Trump admin has been on a revenge tour, staying the course, full steam ahead on Project 2025.

What is kind of comical to me though, is the childish, impulsive way the current administration and the right wing media has handled this tragedy. It’s like an angry child in a temper tantrum, lashing out, seeking widespread revenge for the death of “one of their own”.

Justice for the perp is not enough for them. They seek to punish an entire group of people for something they had nothing to do with, by punishing all of us.

Because conservatives insist on making everything about politics. They view the demise of this energetic, feisty, Christian white national, ultra conservative, republican speaker as a “victory for the left”, a humiliating defeat for the right.

Republicans have convinced themselves that Liberals, democrats, progressives are the gloating repugnant beneficiaries of CK’s death and by default must be punished. Yet their tactics will only ratchet up the misery for everyone.
Trump and MAGATS are behaving as spoiled brats

This is so beyond tone deaf I don't believe you're an actual person. The everything is political took a hard upstroke during the Obama administration with the rise of black lives matter. Everything was white peoples fault. That followed up with ACAB, no go areas in USA cities, decriminalization of drugs, and led to defund the police in 2020.

You aren't a serious person and this post is a bigger joke than Jimmy Kimmel's late night show. The major difference is someone can find this shit funny.

Maybe it’s predictable then that the current admin and the right wing media would react so impulsively and irresponsibly in the wake of this tragedy. It’s like an angry child in a temper tantrum, lashing out, seeking widespread revenge for the death of “one of their own”.

Are you okay?

Maybe you’re one of those people like Charlie Kirk who think there was never any inequality to correct for. Civil rights and human rights have never been a threat or an affront to white men.

I did my part trying to correct inequality and was met with both open arms and racism. Maybe you should stop assuming shit. Inequality is not inequity.

Charlie Kirk getting shot is just pretext. Nothing Trump is doing now is shit he wasn't planning on doing regardless.
 
I don't give a shit about your quotes. Post the entire video of what he said for proper context. The video exists, I don't need a "trust me bro" citation from you. If he's said those things in earnest, then obviously it's not okay. That still doesn't mean he deserves to be shot or celebrated when killed.
Nobody here is saying that, though. As far as quoting him, it's pretty clear what his positions were on things. It's not ambiguous. It was his job to be provocative. He was smart and really good at it.
 
Charlie was very intentional and proud of taking stances and positions he knew were controversial and adversarial. He knew he was going to piss people off with differing views and didn’t care. Which is fine. It was his schtick and he was effective at organizing. But it shouldn’t be surprising that people he intentionally pissed off (and he has a right to express those views) during his life aren’t quick to put him on a pedestal upon his death.

When Joe Biden or Nancy pelosi die, I’m sure you’ll be eulogizing them.

You were in the pelosi thread cheering the idea it was a gay lover.
Paul Pelosi isn't dead, and nobody in the thread "cheered" at all. There were plenty of people, including me, who said the information they were giving of him calmly referring to the guy as "a friend" who broke in unarmed and them both answering the door in their underwear with a drink in their hand, sounded a lot more like an invited guest than a home invasion. Police obviously thought the same based on them strolling up and just standing there.

Oh it's certainly not surprising. It's exactly what I expect from democrats who've so thoroughly lost control of the culture. They have never and would never take the opportunity to bring up a literal "exalted cyclops" of the kkk after he died, any of the actual violent criminal records of the people who get into shootouts with the cops, warmongers, but when it's a pretty moderate Christian family man with 0 criminal record, and you can't even come up with any violent rhetoric, quite the opposite, you're then reduced to intentionally mischaracterizing and misrepresenting his arguments to slander him when he's not alive to defend himself.


Charlie's "shtick" was to plan for slanderous caricatures of his stances, and to then invite people who disagreed to the front of the line to make their case or ask more about his. I can't think of anyone on either side more polite and less "adversarial" to anyone asking a good faith question or debating. Willingness to defend his positions and clarify incorrect assumptions was "his schtick", and it was obviously effective considering he almost single handedly swung the youth vote by nearly 10 points.

I'll ask the same thing I've asked 10 times in the other thread and gotten no response. Who are the conservative public figures whose deaths would not be widely celebrated by the left? Who is a prominent figure on either side for whom you could not cut up clips to call anything they've said objectionable?

Some people suffered tremendously from his views and talking points. He built a large enough platform to disseminated his messages to both willing and unwilling ears. To be filled with a sense of relief and of peace after hearing of his passing is not the same thing as “celebrating a murder”. It’s important to understand the distinction.

Democrats using FCC powers against conservatives would be a step back from shooting them in the throat.

But do go on.
Terrible post and a gigantic false equivalency. One situation is the literal administration doing something (and a lot of the party is excusing or ignoring except maybe oddly enough Ted Cruz). The other is some deranged guy that no one knew before the shooting and nearly all elected democrats condemned the event when it was breaking. There’s always going to be people online participating in shitty behavior celebrating the thing but to even put that on the whole party is bs partisan politics. Kyle or whatever his name is is responsible for shooting Kirk. Those who celebrated it are repsosible for their comments. It stops there.

@Confucamus , I don’t like to overread into likes but how in any remote way is that post above good? All this outrage about what Kimmel said (much tamer than the post above) and we are liking posts roping all democrats in with a shooter?
 
Kimmels a moron and not funny at all so I don't care. Obviously, however I think people still have the right to say whatever they want no matter how retarded it is but in this case I am not surprised at all. Do you really want a talk show host on your platform saying shit like this? It's well within ABC's rights to cancel a show due to statements made that could damage their reputation.
But wasn't it the FCC that made the complaint? They made the decision after being threatened. I have yet to see any quote from him that would merit this response. It's hard to argue this is anything other than Trump having his cronies attack his critics.

I was going to make a more pointed comment on the bolded, but we all know what's going on here.

I didn't take it as literally as you may have. I don't actually think all Democrats want to shoot people in the throat. I don't think that's what he was trying to say either, but I see your point.
